Knifepoint Horror are horror stories written and read by the same guy and put up onto his podcast. Very high quality

I just read HP Lovecraft for the first time, I read At the Mountains of Madness. I thought it was enjoyable.

I don't read a lot of horror, last time I read a horror book was a couple years ago, I read pic related (two books in one!) and enjoyed it a lot.

the stories in songs of a dead dreamer are all pretty bad. grimscribe has better writing but all of the stories are pretty much the same in that, though there are a few notable standouts. teatro grottesco is more streamlined and humorous but also weirder overall.

This ebook is pretty based: 1000+ spooky short stories written by well known horror authors, also there are lots of underrated authors and hidden gems contained in a single file for 99 cents.

ive only read girl next door and peacable kingdoms which is his short story collection. ive heard the others are good but ive watched hill have eyes so i dont feel like reading his cannibal ones. id definitely reccomend some from peacable kingdoms like the box or the rifle.
